skim milk is not necessarily healthier, it just has less fat. Children and teenagers actually need saturated fat-very young people need some cholesterol, because it helps build brain cells. Unfortunately, that does not justify eating bacon when you're 40- past a certain age, your brain cells cannot renew and grow.
As for why they sell it- it's all a matter of supply and demand. they sell what people want to buy, and many people prefer the taste of 2%. I personally hate skim milk, and I only drink whole milk. I run marathons, my average blood pressure is 105, and my cholesterol is below average, so I have no reason to drink skim.

There are people who say all dairy is bad for you... does that mean that we should only be able to buy soy products?
Personally, I can't stand the taste of skim milk. I buy 2% or 1% because they are still healthier than whole milk, and I am still getting the calcium and protein which are the whole point of having dairy. If all they sold was skim, I wouldn't drink milk at all.

The store isn't responsible for only selling the healthiest choices. They are going to sell whatever people buy, and so they have skim, 1%, 2%, whole milk, heavy cream, rice milk, soy milk, etc. They just want to make money.

because skim milk sucks. it tastes like nasty water. i was raised on a farm and personally i prefer milk straight from the cow. its very fattening but a country boy like me works so much that its all about the taste. so dont be discriminating towards 2% or vitamin D milk. its the ****.

Some people prefer the taste of 2% milk better. Also, businesses don't care about the health of their costumers, they only care about the money.

Many people who are used to drinking high fat milk think that skim milk tastes like water with chalk in it. Perhaps they don't realize that you quickly get used to it and learn to love it better.

If the only items that were approved as " healthy" by one group of people were sold, this q and a would be about one question long. Thankfully no-one has yet allowed any one group define what we can all eat. We have plenty that try.
